Porsche configurator doesn't work with Vista?

The configurator works fine with my XP system, but not my new-fangled Vista thing. The 3D version won't display the cars. Has anyone else noticed this, or do I have the wrong version of Shockwave or some other software?

I think you need to add some IE software. Go to adobe.com and install the latest flash and shockwave players.

Re: Porsche configurator doesn't work with Vista?

if above suggestion doesn't do it ..... turn Protected Mode to Off (It is indicated on the bottom of the IE 8 Browser) ..... you can turn it back on after you're done playing with the 3D Configurator ....

Unfortunately, none of these suggestions worked.

I thought nothing worked with Vista. Signed - Mac

Vista uses Internet Explorer same as XP. I think the Porsche site runs on Shockwave. You might have a problem with your browser. You can try upgrading to IE 8 or another browser as in Firefox or Apple Safari.

I'm running IE 8. Shockwave is tested and works. The 3D configurator still doesn't work. I guess the next step is Firefox.

Firefox worked. Shockwave doesn't work with 64bit IE.

I've had some trouble loading programs in the 64 bit version. I don't know why it's sold on retail computers. Glad it's working for you!
